Subject: CHAT to DEC20 doesn''t pass terminal info correctly

When one CHATs to MAXC, somehow the information about the kind of terminal being emulated and the dimensions of the screen is automatically passed along.  However, Ron Kaplan tells me that this is not the case over at CSLI --- when he CHATed to CSLI-TURING (a 2060) and started EMACS, he was asked to specify what kind of terminal he was on.  How can this be rectified?  I could not find anything in the book on this (or on CHAT''s EMACS mode).'

It is either a problem in the setting of the global CHAT.DISPLAYTYPE (the numeric code of "Datamedia" on the host being chatted to), or the host''s chat server does not recognize the displaytype mark byte.'

Ar 525': This is either fixed or declined (the fix being to set CHAT.DISPLAYTYPE correctly).  Did my reply get sent to anyone?  Has there been any further news?'
